About Me

Grizzly young sacristan who loves liturgy and liturgical tradition. I have a bachelor's degree in Catholic theology from the University of Dallas (a Catholic college with a solid theology department). I've worked as a Sacristan in four different parishes in the U.S. and at a shrine in Italy. I'm hoping to make this blog a resource for priests and laity who want to introduce Latin into their parishes, as well as being a resource for doing liturgy correctly, especially in the Mass according to the 2002 Roman Missal, as Pope Benedict XVI called for in his accompanying letter to bishops on "Summorum Pontificum."

Solemnity on a Friday!

EDIT: I was admonished for not mentioning what Solemnity it is today, so:

Today is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Usually a Catholic grizzly eats fish on Fridays.

But even though today is Friday, it's also a Solemnity, which means we can eat meat today!

Canon Law

Canon 1251: Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. [emphasis added]
